Real pics of Xbox Series X (e-arena in Saturn, Germany)

I think this design is meant to fit anyone's aesthetic needs. At 45 years old with an amazing finished basement, this is way more in line with my tastes. Will sit anywhere really without being gaudy or distracting. My PS5 however, I have not figured out what to do with yet. I could put it next to the fish tank? Behind it maybe? Hopefully they at least have a black version at some point.
MS should've installed a removable dust filter, like PC cases. Those holes are huge!
It seems like that's going to be an issue for all next gen consoles. XSX looks terrible horizontal, PS5DE looks bad sideways too, whereas PS5 standard looks kind of shit upright but the disc drive balances the look of it when it's horizontal.
100 percent the #1 thing reviewers and media and influencers will say day one, "It's smaller than I thought it would be." Especially if they have a PS5 to compare it to.
That's what I'm doing as well. Really don't want to put it on my tv stand cause it's so nice vertical and so bad otherwise.
It's clean and simple, which makes it look nice. Sure, Sony "took the chance to create something meaningful" (LOL!), but when it comes across as something that would fit right at home under the "gamer gear" department of an electronics store, why even bother?
Dunno, at least it's reconizable which should be the whole point of a console design.
Is the button on the bottom the power button?
edit: wanted the picture and the quote didn't show the picture.
I dunno. Seeing it in real life from all sides pretty much just confirms -- it's a black PC tower. A fairly attractive one, but still, just a PC tower.
Hmmmm, sounds like the bottom will be more dustier than I thought, since the air flow is sucking all the dusts on the surface in. If the gaps are thin enough, it might be ok?I think the actual vents are top and bottom
as illustrated here
I would personally rather have anything there than an LED that lights up my room Xbox green ™
Fine with leaving coloured light up hardware options to the PC streamer market rather than something I'm gonna have in my living room.
Power button and USB type A

I m the exact opposite even I went and bought led stand for ps3 and x360 to make them light up haha.
Different stroke for different folks i guess

probably the sync button. power button is the xbox logo.
I thought this was a joke post. It took me a minute to realize I wasn't looking at a photo of a furnace or filing cabinet. Probably not a good look when it resembles the type of thing that you hide in the back of your basement or closet.
Whilst I think you go a little too far, I agree it's ugly and very boring.
I think its small size makes it an okay prospect to put on its side.
Its literally as tall and as deep as a controller is wide when horizontal.
The back seems to have about the same amount of intake than the bottom....maybe even a little bit more.
But yeah if you have a dusty desk or whatever, might need to figure some shit out.
Do your other consoles have the same issue?
And the next time you turn it on, any settled dust will blow out. It's a good design.
Xbox One and the later releases of Xbox 360 all had vents facing upwards with the fan blowing up, and it worked out well.
If anything, the consoles I hear about having dust issues and needing to be vacuumed are the various Playstations over the years.
Is the button on the bottom the power button?

No it's the sync button. For syncing a controller. Same as on the current Xbox.
The Xbox logo is the power button.
Looks like it goes with the minimalist design most TVs are going. It's super gorgeous.
Not like a thing you have to be embarrassed about standing in your living room, when guests come over.

Preach!
I hope Xbox button can be dimmed or turned off completely via dashboard setting. Current one is way too bright on both console and controller.
I m not talking about size. the design make it a no no for me in horizontal position. Very aesthetically unpleasing for me personally .I think its small size makes it an okay prospect to put on its side.

Good stuff, thank you. Looks like I'll be fine. Console is so ugly though, haha. Though I don't care as long as the games are good.Its a square so its as deep as it is wide.
The console is a controller wide/deep when vertical.
So get your Xbox One controller.....thats how wide it is, stand your controller on its side....thats how tall it is when its on its horizontal.
Thank you, that makes a lot more sense.
i mean if pineapple on a pizza wasn't a shred of evidence...
Yep. I've decided Xbox at launch. I don't need a PS5 until the next GOW comes out. I'm hoping by then there is either a black version or a nice themed special edition version I like.
Also for the people who find that wall of black a bit much I'm sure Dbrand or the like will be all over this thing.
Yeah Im expecting a lot that, these systems are almost always much smaller than they appear in pictures.
I only own a Switch and a gaming PC. Switch is always played in handheld mode, or is clamped to a gooseneck holder that I wrap around my neck with.
As for the PC, I have an external graphics card bay attached, and it's getting all these tiny spiders in there... I don't know what to do, because I live next to a state park.
There's an elegance to the simplicity. Love the concave top. I wonder if there's any symbolism to the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey?
What the hell is wrong with you!
....here we are having a calm conversation about videogame consoles and you decide to put the image of tiny spiders climbing into PC components with little or nothing that can be done because you live next to a state park?
Get fucked, im out....i aint even gonna try giving you advice about how to confront those monsters.
Good luck!
Based on the reflectiveness in OP's pics, does that mean it's glossy? And if so, why? Think of the fingerprints.
The series x design is the Mona Lisa compared to the PS5. I'm waiting for the black edition before I get a PS5
Ha! Seems we have the exact same opinion here. I'm totally planning to buy a PS5 standard and have it sit horizontal, and a Series X that stands vertical. Honestly, I kind of admire the bizarre PS5 design but am not a huge fan of the look myself either way. It feels like the slim versions will have an opportunity to look much better this gen, wheras outside of the regular Xbox One, I think all consoles looked good to great last gen.
